How do you defend against a person who could kill you with a single touch?An unforseen bi-product of terrorists bombing a children's hospital, the Lazurai were deadly. A mere touch could spread that killer virus to others. Even downwind, without a sneeze or cough to start it. All that survived were babies. The government made it worse by their experiments. All those growing children wanted was to feel love like any child.
When they grew older, their powers increased. And they found they couldn't be stopped. By anyone or anything. Then they escaped... These collected tales explore the universe of the Lazarai, their own growth as a super-species of human, and their unique outlook on life and living.

But he stayed on that bench in the shade and waited to meet this person. His only real hope is that the end would be swift and painless. For everyone concerned...
